Clinton Foundation plans 5 GW solar park in India

Company Name : national institute of technology Surat(SVNIT) Source : http://cleantechindia.wordpress.com/2008/08/10/clinton-foundation-plans-5-gw-solar-park-in-india/

The Clinton Foundation is working with the government of the state of Gujarat to develop an “Integrated Solar City.” Estimated to cost $4.75 billion (Rs. 20,000 crore), the “city” will manufacture solar power components in addition to generating power according to Business Standard. No details yet on whether “components” include photovoltaic cells or modules, nor is it clear which photovoltaic technologies will be used for power generation.

The foundation has already been talking with the state governments of Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan to identify sites for clean power generation projects. In Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, it is considering a combined solar and wind project. In Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, a solar plant is being considered.

With a reported sum of $12 billion set aside for clean power initiatives and backing of numerous corporations including GE and Microsoft, the Clinton Foundation seems set to heat up the large scale solar plants arena. Though a part of me couldn’t be happier about all this activity around large scale solar projects, another part of me has serious reservations. More on that in the next post.
